    About this ebook

    Herein are 10 well illustrated Russian stories for children compiled and retold by Vallery Carrick. This is a collection of ten fantastic stories about Russian peasant life for young children. Because life on the steppe and in the forests was so dependent on animals and farming, it is not surprising to find comical interactions of humans with animals, particularly bears, the symbol of Russia. The text is amply illustrated with pen and ink drawings throughout.
    Valerian (Vallery) Carrick (1869-1942) was a Norwegian author, translator, painter and Illustrator. He wrote “Picture Folk Tales” and followed this up with “More Russian Picture Tales”. Bothe were originally published in 1914 but proved so popular a rerun was ordered in 1920. The gap between the two could be ascribed to the effects of WWI on commerce.
    The stories and adventures in this volume are:
    The Cock and the Bean
    The Goat and the Ram
    The Hungry Wolf
    The Peasant and the Bear
    The Dog and the Cock
    King Frost
    The Bear's Paw
    The Bear and the Old Man's Daughters
    The Straw Ox
    The Fox and the Blackbird
    So, wrap up warm and come out onto the Russian steppe with me, and let us listen and watch, and I promise you it will be worthwhile.
    This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then the quality of the stories. They will have you and your loved ones coming back for more, time and again.

      A wolf and a fox once lived together. The fox, who was the weaker of the two, had to do all the hard work, which made him anxious to leave his companion. One day, passing through a wood, the wolf said, ‘Red-fox, get me something to eat, or I shall ea

      A cock was scratching one day in the earth under the wall of a cottage when he found a bean.

      He tried to swallow it, and choked himself. He choked himself and stretched himself out, and there he lay, and couldn't even breathe.

      And his mistress saw him, ran up to him, and asked: Mr. Cock, what makes you lie there like that, so that you can't breathe?

      I've choked myself with a bean, he answered. Go and ask the cow for some butter.

      And his mistress came to the cow and said: Mrs. Cow, give me some butter! My cock is lying there and can't even breathe, he has choked himself with a bean.

      And the cow answered: Go and ask the hay-makers for some hay.

      And she came to the hay-makers and said: Hay-makers, give me some hay! The hay's for the cow who will give me some butter, and the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean. And the hay-makers answered: Go and ask the oven to give you some loaves.

      And she came to the oven and said: Oven, oven, give me some loaves! The loaves are for the hay-makers, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter, and the butter's for my cock who is lying there and can't breathe, he's choked himself with a bean.

      And the oven answered: Go and ask the wood-cutters for some wood.

      And she came to the wood cutters and said: "Give me some wood! The wood's for the oven, who will give me some loaves, the loaves are for the hay-cutters, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter,
